Wanna Earn an Easy $150?

Got the post-holiday bills haunting you? Need a little extra cash? I was asked to put this piece out by a market research company after they came across my blog and contacted me about the upcoming online study and need deaf people to answer some questions on deaf communication needs. This is where you can help provide valuable information that is a win-win situation. You get the money. They get the survey results. This is a legitimate request for deaf people to participate in this survey. Some of you techno-geeks were also contacted by a company rep.

Here's the advertisement below but hurry because the survey started yesterday and you have til Friday to complete the survey, and get your cool $150:


Goodmind, a market research company in NYC, is doing an online study with the deaf or hard of hearing for one of the major national relay providers. The whole purpose of the study is to find out more about deaf communication needs: relay (internet and video), instant messaging, text messaging, etc, and how these needs could be better addressed. Also, they want to find out what is important to the deaf in regards to wireless devices (ease of use, speed, features).

How it works is that Goodmind will send each person an individual login to their website. This will send you to an online “room” which will be open 24 hours a day for each day of the study. This is a 3-day study, however total time commitment is only 90 min to 2 hours spread over the 3 days. You are free to login whenever. This study started yesterday (1/8) but has been extended to Friday 1/11. There have already been two days of questions posted but you’ll have until Friday to finish all the questions.

After the end of the study, Goodmind will send out incentive checks for $150 for each person who completed all 3 days. It is turning out to be a really interesting study so please consider taking part! Contact Jacqueline.amyot@goodmind.net for more information or to participate.

UPDATE: The study is now full! Thank you for your co-operation. Goodmind is no longer accepting people to participate in the survey. If you have questions, you may contact Jacqueline Amyot.
